There are issues around Microsoft FAT patent are reported here http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20090226070041454
If this patent is challenged successfully then FAT will be around for a while. However, it would be good to have a clear open source and standard file system for hot plug devices which could be used by all vendors and OS suppliers to provide a common means of transferring large volumes of data. If something is not happen then will NTFS become the next de facto standard replacing FAT. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
